A review of the development and implementation of the critical source area concept: A reflection of Andrew Sharpley's role in improving water quality

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Critical source areas (CSAs) are small areas of a field, farm, or catchment that account for most contaminant loss by having both a high contaminant availability and transport potential. Most work on CSAs has focused on phosphorus (P), largely through the work in the 1990s initiated by Dr.

Analysis of 3‐nitropropionic acid in Fabaceae plants by HPLC‐MS/MS

Phytochemical Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 8, Page 1205-1213, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction 3‐Nitropropionic acid (3‐NPA) is a toxic compound that can accumulate in esterified form in the Fabaceae family. In the Lotae tribe, many species have been identified as 3‐NPA producers (e.g., Securigera varia), while some of the genetically close Lotae plants were formerly reported as 3‐NPA‐free (e.g., Lotus corniculatus and ...

Optimizing sampling across transect‐based methods improves the power of agroecological monitoring data

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Transect‐based monitoring has long been a valuable tool in ecosystem monitoring to measure multiple ecosystem attributes. The line‐point intercept (LPI), vegetation height, and canopy gap intercept methods comprise a set of core methods, which provide indicators of ecosystem condition.

Defining biodiverse reforestation: Why it matters for climate change mitigation and biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 27-38, January 2023., 2023
Mixed species plantings present an attractive alternative to monoculture reforestation through their added benefits to biodiversity. Yet there is ambiguity in the use of the term ‘biodiversity’ in carbon and biodiversity markets, which may create perverse outcomes when designing schemes and projects.

Phosphorus budgets of intensively managed row crops at a long‐term agroecosystem research site in the upper US Midwest

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Phosphorus (P) budgets for cropping systems provide insights for keeping soil P at optimal levels for crops while avoiding excess inputs. We quantified 12 years of P inputs (fertilizer and atmospheric deposition) and outputs (harvest and leaching losses) for replicated maize (Zea mays L.)—soybean (Glycine max L.)—wheat (Triticum aestivum) crop

An ecological and evolutionary perspective of the historical US nursery flora

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 146-159, January 2023., 2023
The plants sold in nurseries directly influence urban landscapes by providing habitat that supports humans and other organisms and indirectly influence the natural landscape by acting as a major source of invasive species. We analyzed the ornamental plants sold in US nurseries from 1719 to 1946 and found broad patterns of increasing diversity occurring

Fusion of Vis‐Near and Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopic Data for a Prediction of Biochar C, Native Soil Organic C and Root C in a Designed Experiment With Loess Soils

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The accuracy of predictions using visible to near‐infrared (vis–NIR) and mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy for different organic compounds in arable soils is not sufficiently quantified and designed experiments are useful to assess the potential.

Back to the future: Using ancient Bere barley landraces for a sustainable future

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView., 2023
Bere is an ancient barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) that was once widely grown in northern Britain, where its ability to grow on poor soils and under challenging climatic conditions made it a valuable staple. By the end of the 20th century, Bere had largely been replaced by higher‐yielding modern varieties and only survived in cultivation on a few Scottish ...
